I opened the house (and the school) in Photoshop to check the angles on the left and right sides of the roofs. The angles are identical. What throws the house's roof off kilter is the fact that the peak is off center; it's too far to the left when it should divide the house in half.

The school. I couldn't figgure out if there was a problem with the school's roof or not. Anyway I think the shading went alright. and here is hoping the phones look better.

The roof actually looks fine. The shading works and I like how you went contrary to the angle of the school. Don't forget the shading in the parking lot as well if you're going to use it. The phones are perfect! Great job!

Here's some New Super Mario Bros. DS sprites.

Thank you =) Oh yeah I'll do that too , relaly gotat find a way to do cars better first though I think.
Thanks =D glade the phones are looking well.

Anyway I'll try and have the first comic done later today. Not saying how frequent the comic will be yet though. I can't go to fast untill I have a few other places made. Otherwise I'll catch up to fast and have to put it all on hold again lol

cool, can i join?

Understandable. I know it means waiting a little longer to publish to the Web, but if you wait to post your first comic until you have at least three completely finished, it may help you to get into a routine and allow you to upload comics on a semi-regular basis. Just an idea. Best of luck!

Well here is ... Chapter 1, Episode 1

Oops! I wrote the above without reading your latest entry. It's not a bad start. I like the rifle wielding M. That sprite looks great! I also like how you set up his room. Two things to think about:
1) if there are going to be drop shadows off the buildings, be sure to add them to the characters as well. A simple oval shadow underneath the figures works well.
2) If you want to send me the dialogue to edit for spelling and grammar before you upload, I'm more than willing to do it.

Sure! What's your interest in sprites? Are you a sprite customizer and / or creator? If so, post a sample. Do you like Flash projects using sprites? If so, post a link to your favorite. Are you a fan of video games? If so, which is your favorite and why? Let us know what it is about sprites that you dig so we could understand what you'll add to the club.

You mean wait till I have 3 comics completely finished? Actually I have about 5 at the moment. I just ahve to work them onto the new house backgrounds.

*whimpers* More shadows? lol *falls down dead*

Ahhh yeah I know my english isn't all that great lol Even though it's my first and only language I know lol I think I might have spell check somwhere on this computer.

Well unforchenatly the next few comics might end up a little boring. What with Eric's overvoice trying to explain things to the reader. I just want to make sure everyone knows the characters they are supposed to know.

Try and add a few jokes when I can in between or under the explaining. I get the feeling the comic isn't always going to be funny though lol I mean ya have demons, vampires, and everything else showing up here and there I have to make it somwhat serious at times too I suppose.

At 5/19/06 02:24 PM, Ghaleonx5z wrote: You mean wait till I have 3 comics completely finished?

Yep, completely finished. This way, you'll have a ready supply to go to for uploading while you're making new comics.

LOL! All you need to do is add a simple elliptical shadow under the characters, nothing fancy; it'll get the point across and give your comic greater visual depth.

... I know my english isn't all that great ... I might have spell check somwhere on this computer.

The problem isn't only your spelling, it's also the use of "there", "their" and "they're"; you're spelling 'em correctly, they're just being misused.

... the next few comics might end up a little boring. What with Eric's overvoice trying to explain things to the reader. I just want to make sure everyone knows the characters they are supposed to know.

I don't think that's going to be a problem. You do a pretty good job in bringing a story across, so I can't imagine it's going to get boring.

Yeah I have a few others, I'll make more tomororw. I'm gonna keep at it till I have the whoel first chapter done. Then I can work on the police staion while I slowely put out the first chapter. Keep up like that with other places too and eventually I should get to a place where I won't have to make anything but the comics for a long while =)

LOL! All you need to do is add a simple elliptical shadow under the characters, nothing fancy; it'll get the point across and give your comic greater visual depth.

I'll try and see if I can do it correctly. Thank goodness for open canvas otherwise I wouldn't have a prayer at making the shading.

Yeah I've always had that problem =/ my grammer sucks horribly lol

Thanks lol I'll do my best to keep it funny unless it's not supposed to be lol

Wish I could spoile somthings lol XD I love telling people whats going to happen in somthing when they want to know. But when it's your own thing... dang if it isn't hard to keep myself from blabbing lol XD

I know EXACTLY what you're talking about! As a matter of fact, I call it, "Talking the Magic Out of a Project" because I used to be notorious for that. I'd gab about all the details of a project and then I'd never finish it. I think by telling people of my plans, it already felt finished. It took a lot of time and discipline, but I finally learned to zip my lip. I haven't gotten a great deal done yet, but since no one knows what my projects are about, I'm eager to complete them so they can see what's going on in my head.

I'm just starting to learn to try and keep myself quiet lol It is sooooo hard though lol XD

I just can't wait for certain characters to show themselves though is all I can say without saying anything lol XD

Why? I've never ripped a sprite myself, so I'm not familiar with the actual effort involved. What made it hard? Is it because it's mostly made up of one dark color? Does the character move too quickly? Is it a combination of those things or something completely different?

Thank you =D
He's not much of a school person lol XD
Ahh, the hands... lol Well it kinda works when he has hi jacket on. But your right it looks weird when he's just got the T-shirt. I'll start fixing that.

Man trying to get a comic out ever other day is a rather big motivator to get other things done lol I now have nearly all the walk and sitting and behind poses for all the extra students done. I finished the lunchroom... pretty much. And after I finish the students completely I can work on part of the back of the school. Which will be alot easier sense I have the grass made and all.

Also trying to work on Bios, and a statistic grid for each character on the bios. Which is really hard, sense I don't know what the limits on humans and stuff should be. Or how big the number scale should be. I'll figgure it out though. Just thought it would be somthing different.

I wish I knew HTML. I really need an actual site for this. But my mind is like completely blank when it comes to HTML lol or anything else thats complex like that.

Hey all! I've been slowly working on my pre-prequel CV SOTN Alternate Beginning. I'd thought I post this unfinished build of the intro which makes use of the Alucard sprite you made for me Doc!

WOW! That sounds great that you've gotten so much nearly finished. I hope this comic runs for a long time!

Also trying to work on Bios, and a statistic grid for each character on the bios.

That sounds interesting since it'll give the readers another basis of comparison, besides the story, on what kind of strengths and abilities M is up against compared to his own when battling monsters.

I wish I knew HTML. I really need an actual site for this.

It could get to be confusing if you don't have the time to dedicate to sitting down and figuring it out. There are programs out there, like Dreamweaver, that make building web sites very simple without knowing a lick of HTML. With Dreamweaver, you could open a window that will show you what the HTML code looks like pertaining to the page you're making. It allows for a more practical education of HTML though you ultimately don't need to know it to build a great site with that program.

Same here lol

yeah, I just don't know what the highest # on each stat should be. And I can't go by human averages. Which might have left M looking a bit better. I have to go by demon and monster averages, which will end up making M look a bit too weak I think. Gonna take a bit to figgure it all out I suppose.

It seems like it's going to be a delicate balance since it seems like M is your above average human. I think you should include humans in the stats so the readers can easily identify how much more powerful the monsters are. M doesn't need to be extremely powerful to fight them, though. Look at Van Helsing from the original Dracula; he didn't have the physical strength or supernatural power that the Count had, but he defeated him anyway by using his head. Same thing with Buffy; she wasn't as physically powerful as some of the monsters she fought, but she used her head and agility to win the day.

To help spark an idea, you could probably base the power system on a scale from 1 to 10. 3 could be a human of average strength, 6 could be M's and 10 could be the strength of something like the Frankenstein monster. Just an idea, but I hope it helps lead you down a path that works for your project.

Are you talking about the shading on the actual sprite itself or the drop shadow that would be cast on the ground underneath the character?

Ok I think I can get all the stats to work if I go from 1-50 lol 10 would be the MAX for the average human.

The only problem is that this all kinda messes up the intellegence stat. Unless I don't give humans a limit on the intellegence stat. But that would look rather odd to have 3 stats at 5, 4, 6, and then intellegence at 30....

1-10 would be good for everything. But dang if this isn't confussing. on a 1-50 stat chart I can show them slowely getting better as they get older. I mean there only 16 the main characters right now.

I'm over thinking all this lol

It would all work if it wasn't for the intellegence stat. I could just that out. But it might look odd without and INT stat on a character. I don't know.

Thanks for the info. There is a member of the club, rabidbaboy, who is an exceptional sprite artist. Back on page 268, he posted -

"... if you want to commission me for spites, email me at rabidbaboy@yahoo.com, we'll talk about it, i do isometric sprites and small sprites for sidescroller platformers ..."

- so try getting in touch with him and he may be able to help you. Best of luck to you on your project!

That's usually the case when one wants to create something that's as perfect as they could possibly get it; that's normal. As an example, back in 1993, Sky Box produced a set of Marvel trading cards that featured a Marvel character on the front and their stats on the back. The numbers only went from 1 to 7. Here are some sample stats:

WOLVERINE
Strength: 2
Stamina: 5
Fighting Ability: 7
Durability: 5

IRON MAN
Strength: 6
Speed: 6
Intelligence: 5
Energy Projection: 5

APOCALYPSE
Strength: 6
Intelligence: 5
Mental Powers: 5
Energy Projection: 5

As you can see, it's not an exact science and is geared more toward each character's individual strengths. I don't think it needs to be exacting, just as long as the readers have an idea of how different characters and monsters stack up against each other.

Ah... huh. Yeha I was gonan say it seemed weird to see Wolverine as a 2 in strength lol But yeah I see what you mean. I'll try and fix it all lol
